Proving that a binomial coefficient is the sum of two others

Question

I am asked to prove this given $1 \le m \le n - 1$ (homework question):

$$\frac{n!}{(m-1)!(n-m+1)!} + \frac{n!}{m!(n-m)!} = \frac{(n+1)!}{m!(n+1-m)!}$$

Which proof technique should I use to solve this? I tried induction but couldn't seem to get anywhere with it. Maybe I am just bad with factorial, should I use induction?

Answer 1

$$\frac{n!\cdot m}{m(m-1)!(n+1-m)!}+\frac{n!\cdot (n+1-m)}{m!(n+1-m)!}=\frac{m \cdot n!+(n+1)n!-m\cdot n!}{m!(n+1-m)!}=$$

$$=\frac{(n+1)!}{m!(n+1-m)!}$$
